Newsletter and jokes: 19 January 2018

Hi all
Well the schools are up and running so nothing new for the kiddies this
week.
What we DO have instead is the highly-rated and acclaimed The Shape of
Water, which boldly goes where Avatar dared not venture.
Then more main-stream, some feel-good fare in the shape of Megan Leavey and
Breathe, while the next instalment in the Insidious series offers counter-
programming on the dark side.
Lastly the controversial Hindi film Padmavati, which was pulled last year,
is screening under a new title in both 2D and 3D, as Padmavaat.
No previews this week.
This is probably my favourite time of the cinema year, as the Oscar-bait
films hit the screens.
Enjoy :-)

An incompetent counterfeiter spent all day making his funny money. At the
end of the day he realizes he spent all his time making R15 notes.
He figures that the only way he's going to get anything from this batch of
money is to find a place where the people aren't too bright and change his
phony money for real cash.
He travels to a small town in the Northern Cape and walks into a small "Mom
and Pop" grocery store. He goes to the old man behind the counter and asks
him, "Do you have change for R15?"
The old man replies, "Ja, Boet. How would you like that? An 8 and a 7 or
two 6s and a three?"

"Barbra Streisand told Diane Sawyer that we're in a global warming crisis,
and we can expect more and more intense storms, droughts and dust bowls.
But before they act, weather experts say they're still waiting to hear from
Celine Dion." -Jay Leno

Schwarzenegger's exact words were: fire, hot, bad." -Conan O'Brien

A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store. The store
clerks called an ambulance when they saw him collapse to the floor. The
paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency
open heart bypass surgery.
He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the
Catholic Hospital he was taken to. A nun was seated next to his bed holding
a clip board loaded with several forms, and a pen. She asked him how he was
going to pay for his treatment.
"Do you have health insurance?" she asked.
He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."
The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"
He replied, "No money in the bank."
"Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the
irritated nun.
He said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun."
The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns
are married to God."
The patient replied, "Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law."

A man starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks.
First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds.
As he does this, a huge fish jumps out and bites him.
To show the others who's boss, he beats it to death with a spade.
Realising his employer won't be best pleased;
He disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat
anything.
Moving on to the second job of clearing out the chimp house,
He is attacked by the chimps who pelt him with coconuts.
He swipes at two chimps with a spade, killing them both.
What can he do?
Feed them to the lions, he says to himself,
Because lions eat anything.
He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure.
He moved on to the last job, Which is to collect honey from the South
African bees.
As soon as he starts, he is attacked by the bees.
He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp.
By now he knows what to do and throws them into the lion's cage -
because lions eat anything.
Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo.
He wanders up to the other lions and says
'What's the food like here?'
The lions say:
'Absolutely brilliant. Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees.'

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.
Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.
I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the
foot of my bed.
At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified.
My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe
that 2:30am?!
Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes.
